Findings show collaboration tools designed to
deliver workplace equity are fundamental in today's hybrid
landscape
SANTA
CRUZ, Calif., Aug. 16,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Poly
(NYSE: POLY) today indicates that the key to a successful return to
office (RTO) is reliant on an organization's hybrid work
strategy. The "Journey to Hybrid Working" report highlights that
getting employees back to the office in a hybrid model is being
impacted by a reluctance to return, with employees citing concerns
over work-life balance and productivity.
"In today's modern day hybrid working landscape, it's become
imperative that organizations deliver an equitable work experience
for those in the office and those working remotely," said
Carl Wiese, Executive Vice President
and Chief Revenue Officer, Poly. "To navigate a successful return
to the office, employers need to take into account the total
workplace experience, which consists of workspaces, preferred
workstyles, and the right collaboration technology that enables
employees to do their best work."
Poly research shows that the quantity of office-based workers
that spend more than half of their time in the office has dropped
substantially (down 25 percent). Cost-of-living and inflation has
some employees questioning the value of going to the office,
causing them to potentially choose between travelling to work or
spending their time and money elsewhere. To navigate a
successful return to office we need to embrace the culture and
values of today's hybrid workforce.
"True flexibility in the world of work comes from a mix of work
modes. The return to the office is an essential part of that mix,"
said Jeremy Myerson, Director of
WORKTECH Academy. "If organizations want to properly implement a
hybrid working model, then they need to move faster to bring at
least some of their people back to the office."
Ultimately, the ability to deliver workplace equity, whether
in-office or remote, is the key to the future of hybrid
work.

office efforts, please download Poly's report, developed in
